User Manual For - CONTROLLER/DATA RECORDER MultiCon CMC-99/141
7.8.2. Logical channels - Hardware input mode
This mode allows the user to measure data from installed input modules which can be
displayed, and/or processed in any other logical channels (e.g. by mathematical function or
virtual relay) or it can be the data source for controlling outputs.
The Logical channels parameters in Hardware inpu t mode are:
– Name - it gives the name to the logical channel,
–
Unit
- for
Built-in modules
it will automatically use the default
Unit
, to change the
unit use the
Scaling
parameter in
Processing
parameter block,
– Mode=Hardware input - in this parameter user can select the source type of the
data for the logical channel,
– Source - in this parameter user selects the source of the data from the hardware
input list for the logical channel (see below in this Chapter ),
–
Configure source
button - after pressing this button user can change the source
configuration, e.g. the range of the input value (see below in this
Chapter
), another
method to change the source configuration is to use the
Built-in inputs
menu
(see Chapter 7.9. BUILT-IN INPUTS ),
– Latch parameter block - allows user to set the latch function which will hold the last
value of a channel (discussed in Chapter 7.8.1. Logical Channels - General
settings
),
–
Processing
parameter block - is used for scaling and filtering data (discussed in
Chapter 7.8.1. Logical Channels - General settings ),
– Displaying parameter block - these parameters allow the user to select the format
and range of the data displayed on the screen (discussed in Chapter 7.8.1. Logical
Channels - General settings ),
Source
parameter in Hardware input mode
After pressing the Source button a list of available hardware inputs appears. The selected
option will be the source of the data for this logical channel. A sample list of available
hardware inputs for a device with only one input module
I16 - 16 current inputs
(see Appendices 8.2. UI4, UI8, UI12, U16, U24, I16, I24 – VOLTAGE and CURRENT
